District Court Judge Richard Kuhn Jr. disagreed, refusing to modify bonds which strictly forbid them from using the drug while the case remains in court.

The Oakland Press reports dozens of supporters packed the 51st District courtroom in Waterford Township on Tuesday at a hearing for 10 defendants arrested during the raids. An attorney for Candace Teichman argued it was inappropriate for the court to decide treatment for his client, who is legally registered to use marijuana as a pain reliever.

"The law says this is a medicine," Michael Kormorn said. "It's a medical issue. Why should the law say what people should use?"

In denying the motion, Kuhn compared the restriction to drunk driving suspects who are not allowed to drink while on bond.

Teichman and her husband own Everybody's Cafe, one of three "compassion clubs" raided by the Oakland County Sheriff's Office. She is charged with several counts related to the delivery and manufacturing of marijuana.

Her husband, William Teichman, faces similar counts and an additional firearms charge after authorities found a weapon in his home. The Detroit Free Press reports he also was arrested earlier this month during a traffic stop. Authorities believe marijuana use impaired his driving and say he possessed marijuana-based pills, but he has not yet been charged.

A total of 16 defendants arrested during the raids were arraigned this weekend. They face felony charges that carry up to four years in prison. Most claim they use marijuana to alleviate serious illnesses and pain. Several of the defendants face a separate hearing Thursday in Hazel Park's 43rd District Court.
